How we are different

There are dozens of local meetup groups that teach people how to code. Here are some ways that we are different from most other groups:

We are building a local community of friendly, creative, highly-motivated programmers in the Berkeley area.

We're open to all programming languages, all levels of ability, and all types of programming (scientific computing, hardware, systems programming, Web development, game programming, computer graphics, and more). If you like things like data science, lisps, logic, puzzles, and esolangs, you will probably find like-minded people here.

If you are looking for a job, we would like to help you find a job -- and if you're just programming because you love programming, or you are interested in entrepreneurship instead of getting a job, this community is ideal for those things as well.

Some of the languages our members have been working with are: Python, JavaScript, Java, Scheme, Racket, Clojure, Common Lisp, C, C++, Elixir, Ruby, PHP, Go, R, Octave, Haskell, SQL and more. We're open to anything that is computer-related.
